Podcast Episode 110: Overcoming that Wave of Guilt When Getting Divorced with Erin Royer, MA
Who doesn’t know the current statistic that 50% of all marriages end in divorce? Even if you haven’t experienced getting divorced yourself, odds are very high that you have someone close to you who is or has been through a divorce. But few people talk openly about the emotional toll they go through while contemplating getting divorced.
In this podcast episode, we welcome Erin Royer, the founder of Your Village, and host of the Parenting Beyond Discipline podcast. We talk candidly about the guilt that so many parents go through when trying to decide about getting divorced, what the research says on the effects of parents staying in an unhappy relationship, and what parents can do to support their kids (and their own) mental health during and after getting divorced.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- The reasons many parents feel guilty about getting a divorce.
- What the research says about divorced households and the effects of parents staying in an unhappy marriage/relationship can have on the kids.
- 3 things you can do to help support your kids and their mental health during and after a divorce.
